Now seems a good time to mention that you can beautify your XML RSS/Atom feeds without XSLT using CSS and JS.
You can add a stylesheet to an Atom feed by adding a <link> tag with an xmlns attribute, like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" />
<!-- ... the rest of the feed goes here ... -->
Or add styles directly with a <style> tag:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<style xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><![CDATA[
* { color: red; }
]]></style>
<!-- ... the rest of the feed goes here ... -->
You can even run JavaScript when users browse to your feed like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<script src="script.js" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" />
<!-- ... the rest of the feed goes here ... -->
You can use JS to transform your XML, just like you can (could) with XSLT.
